you will want to find a fuel sender/pick-up from a carbed camaro, you can modify the one you have by removing the fuel pump and putting a tube rubber of stainless in place of the fuel pump. then you will find the feed line usaully the larger line running up front and connect it to the feed side of the fuel pump. then connect the delivery side of the fuel pump up to the carb.

Drill a hole in your tank, install a bulkhead run 8 an line to the pump and then pump to the carb and done.

I would advise against a bulkhead port unless you have baffles in place to keep fuel near the pickup at all times.

You should be fine if you keep more than a 1/4 tank in it. There's people running 8s on that setup. The way the tank is shipped its a natural sump for the fitting.

... I think seans racecar is even setup up that way.

I think that may b the way I am gonna go where can I find a write up or something on it

I think TGO had one on it. If not its pretty straight forward. Personally me I'm Gunna get a 10an fitting welded on mine. That's the way I'm Gunna go but I'm Gunna run an aeromotive pump not a block pump.

It keeps ya from having to drop the tank to change your pump. Intake pumps are just a hassle for me. I'm carbed and will prolly stay that way so I don't see the point of having a high pressure when it's just gotta get regulated down.
